Pharmaceutical & Medical Supplies payments need FX, proof, and timing control.

Where pharmaceutical & medical supplies payments hurt.
The pressure is not only moving money. It is proving, timing, and reconciling the payment.
What we solve for pharmaceutical & medical supplies.
Delayed supplier payment
Payment upon batch release approval (not shipment). LC for first orders. Net 45-60 for established Indian generics suppliers. A delayed payment collides with shipment release, production schedules, or a balance-payment deadline.
LC AT SIGHT FOR APIS OVER £100KFX margin leak
MODERATE: INR (generics), CHF (branded), EUR (devices). High margins (40-60%) on branded provide FX buffer. Generics (15-25%) more FX-sensitive. Landed cost is harder to defend when payment economics are unclear.

Steady with flu season spikes (Oct-Mar). NHS contract cycles. Pandemic/epidemic surges unpredictable. Clinical trial timelines project-based. Uncertain payment timing on top of that turns a planning problem into a liquidity one.
